Easy soup recipes please! Prefer something not super heavy and unhealthy. (Don’t mind a little bit but no cream based potato soup please) looking for more of broth type soups. Some cream or milk added is fine.
🙂

*please no beans or peas

sorry have some picky eaters. You guys are awesome! Thank you.
 
Split pea soup.... wash and drain peas. Add enough water, goya ham bullion, and chicken broth to boil until tender. Mash some of the peas when tender enough, to create a thicker soup. Can add bacos or real bacon and carrots while boiling the peas if you want. Soup is normally done in 30 minutes to an hour.
 
I use thawed frozen cauliflower rice and butternut squash for lower carbs. Substitute cajun seasoning and fennel for old bay because I never have it.
 
Beef (leftover pot roast is great in this) good beef bone broth, barley ( quick cooking) diced red potatoes ,celery ,onion, carrots and creamini mushrooms. Can also add a can of diced tomatoes.
 
Hamburger soup
Cook crumble and drain 1# hamburger along with 1 onion chopped. add 1/4 C chopped garlic. 1 can rotel, 1 24-28 oz can tomatoes, 1 stalk celery (I put rotel, tomatoes and celery in blender or food processor as my family doesn't like these chunky) 1 qt beef broth and 1 qt water (or 2 qt beef broth), 4-6 potatoes diced, 1 pkg each frozen corn, peas, carrots. (If I use canned veggies I drain can 1st) 1 pkg shredded cabbage. Sometimes I add 1 tsp Kitchen Bouquet, some Better than Boullion and 1 bay leaf. Salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 30 min stirring occasionally. Serve with rustic bread or biscuits.
 
Chicken stew: remove skin from a whole chicken. Put in large pot, cover with water/chicken broth by 2 inches. Put lid on pot. Simmer 1-2 hrs. Remove chicken from pot. Debone chicken and dice it and add back to pot along with several chopped potatoes (ok to leave skin on but scrub 1st). Add 1 bag frozen veggies, chopped celery, chopped carrots, several cloves of chopped garlic, 1T poultry seasoning, 1T thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 10-20 min until potatoes are done. (I like to add a package of chicken giblets when I cook the chicken) can be made with chicken breasts or leg/thighs.
 
Dumplings
1.5 C all purpose flour
2t baking powder
1/4t salt
3/4C milk
3T melted shortening/melted butter/oil
Stir ingredients in bowl with a whisk. Add wet ingredients and stir with fork.
Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto hot meat or vegetables in simmering stew. (Do not drop directly into hot liquid) Cook uncovered 10 min. Cover and cook 10 min longer. Makes 8-10 dumplings. To freeze: drop uncooked dumplings onto sheetpan lined with parchment paper that has been sprayed with no stick spray. Put in freezer. When frozen put in freezer bag. Set out separately x 30 min to thaw before cooking.
